An interface arrangement between a television receiver (1) and a conditional access sub-system (3), in particular for MAC type television signals comprises a bus having a first line (CKFH) conveying clock signals at television line frequency, a second line (DATA) conveying data during prescribed periods in a four television frame period bus cycle and a third line (DIRN) conveying a signal indicating the direction of data travel on the second line. The bus may be connected to a number of sub-systems (3(1), 3(2)) internal to the television receiver or may be connected via a connector unit (7) to external sub-systems (5(1), 5( 2)).
